According to Break 4 Coffee, campers do not have to be without their morning cup of coffee; there are many wonderful methods for making a great cup of campfire coffee. Percolator coffee pots are ideal for campers to use by the campfire because no electricity is needed. Campfire percolator coffee pots get their heat from an external element such as hot water heated by the fire.

No-Pressure Percolator

No-pressure percolators are available with or without filters, depending on the brand and model. No-pressure percolators include a coffee pot with a small chamber at the bottom. The percolator is placed on a heat source, like a campfire or cookstove, making this an ideal percolator for campers.

Italian Percolator

Italian percolators are also known as French press coffee makers. The Italian percolator is one of the simplest types of percolators, which is great for campfires because it requires little more than coffee and water. The Italian percolator brews finely ground coffee which is stirred into hot water (ideally heated by the campfire). The plunger is then pressed down to trap the coffee grounds at the bottom, and the fresh coffee is pushed to the top.

Hob Percolator Pot

The hob type of percolator is perfect for camping because it can be heated right on top of the campfire, grill or your camp stove. This type of campfire percolator comes with a permanent filter, so no paper filter is needed for brewing. To use a percolator pot, you place the pot on a heat source and allow it to boil. Then turn down the heat and allow it to percolate.
